Trump said Wednesday that his administration is prepared for Hurricane Florence, a storm barrelling toward the Carolina coastline, and insisted that his administration's widely panned response to the devastation in Puerto Rico a year ago was an 'unappreciated great job'. "We're ready. We're as ready as anybody's ever been".

In his latest tweets, Trump proclaimed that "3000 people did not die" in Puerto Rico, and that number was concocted by Democrats "in order to make me look as bad as possible". "I think in a certain way the best job we did was Puerto Rico but nobody would understand that, I mean it's harder to understand".

A CBS reporter who picked up on the viral photos of the unused water bottles confirmed that they were brought to the island and turned over to Puerto Rico's central government.

Ottmar Chavez, now administrator of Puerto Rico's General Services Administration, said FEMA reported that it had about 20,000 pallets of bottled water in excess in May this year, before Chavez was appointed.
